IPL Players Auction: Players To Watch Out For

IPL Players Auction: Players To Watch Out For

Yuvraj Singh
He might be out of the national team, but he is still a force to reckon with. Considering that the IPL will provide him a chance to comeback into the national team and he will be more fired up than even makes him one of the most interesting candidate. His ability to bowl the four overs also makes him worth the money.

2/10

Mohit Sharma
Last time when he played for the CSK he was an unknown quantity. Now that he has got international exposure and his exploits in the last IPL, he will be one of the sought after. There has been a dearth of Indian bowlers, who can do well in the T20s and Mohit Sharma fits into the bill easily and may well be one of the most sought after considering he will be with the team for the next three years.

3/10

Aaron Finch
Not surprisingly, one of the many players who was a part of the Pune Warriors India, but unluckily for them never showed the form that he has shown for Australia off late. He has come of age in the Australian team od late and his power hitting is well suited for the placid wickets in India and may well be one of the top earning players.

4/10

Quinton de Kock
The South African was an unknown quantity until recent times. His three centuries against India has surely put the 20-year-old one radars of the IPL teams. Surprisingly, the SurRisres Hyderabad did not retain him and with his attitude to dominate the bowling and with age on his side, the teams will surely earn some mouth-watering salary.

5/10

Vinay Kumar
He may have been lost his pace in the Indian team for lack of pace and leaking too many runs. While the same is the case in IPL too, he has uncanny ability to pick up wickets. With his subtle variations he has provided enough breakthroughs for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and with the lack of Indian strike pace bowler he is bound to keep the teams interested.

6/10

Dinesh Karthik
A surprise drop by the Mumbai Indians and he has been one of the few Indian players who have been consistent. Being a front-line batsman and full-time wicket-keeper he can give team more option to choose from. Despite his inability to break into the Indian team in recent times, he has been performing well in the IPL and can be good finisher too.

7/10

Virender Sehwag
He might look like a spent force. In IPL he can be a threat and even his 30s and 40s can set the tone for the match. It is his ability to punish the good balls that makes him dangerous and smarting from the recent failures and criticisms he will be keen to silence them. It might be a huge gamble also because he may prove to be a damp squib and a few teams might bet for him just like a lottery.

8/10

Brad Hodge
May be one of the best finishers in the IPL and considering his success with the Rajasthan Royals, the team may use the joker card on him. He is a true match winner and his ability to bat under all circumstances as a floater is the biggest advantage. Even though his survival for the next three years is doubtful, he might be a good short-term buy as he will prove the worth of every penny.

9/10

Robin Uthappa
Uthappa had been an underperformer for the Pune Warriors. Still his ability to keep wickets and power-hitting can draw the teams interest. He was one of the costliest players during players’ auction three years ago. Even though since then he has failed to justify the tag, he has shown he was keen to improve over the year losing some excess weight. He is coming back from an injury and has looked in good touch since then.

10/10

Corey Anderson
With the fastest century against his name, he will the new sensation during the IPL players’ auction. The Kiwi will be in demand for his ability to clear boundaries and IPL teams will be interested as he is likely to a match-winner. Even in the past we have seen that the performances just before the auction, influence the teams more than anything else and Anderson will return with a big pay purse.
